Synopsis:

 

My Filthy Hunt shares four intertwining narratives and provides an insightful window into each character's life. Horizon Arts presents an innovative work, allowing an ensemble to tell personal stories in a captivating hour of high-energy impact theatre. Tales of sexual abuse, failed suicide attempts, crippling self-doubt, and nihilistic hedonism thread their way through a show packed with misfit, miscreant and mysterious multi-characters. Decidedly painful experiences are presented with honesty in the messy confusion of dealing with loss.

Selected Press:

 

‘A stunning piece of theatre.’ The Scotsman

 

'Good theatre doesn’t require much to be compelling. My Filthy Hunt is an argument for how.’ Chicago Theatre Beat

 

‘A thoughtful, engaging, sensitive play about devastation and recovery.’ Time Out Chicago

 

‘This gutsy physical theatre show has captured the authentic voice of the comprehensive school, the housing estate, and life without the present or future, in a way few more traditional theatre works achieve. For that achievement alone, it deserves its five-star rating.’ What's On Stage

 

‘A sensitive play that asks existential questions and has the good sense to leave them unanswered. While the writing is fresh and exciting, what lifts My Filthy Hunt to tremendous heights is the direction of Philip Stokes.’ British Theatre Guide.

 

‘My Filthy Hunt combines the hard-hitting drama with almost pantomimic character interjection. Moments of black comedy and absurd physical humour set the work alight. These moments of high comedy allow those shocking scenes of intense drama and emotion to grip the audience and cause the familiar still silence across the auditorium, which only a deeply moved and captivated audience create.’ Fringe Review
